 To be clear, out of band fees is not the same thing as out of band transactions. 
 I fully expect fee and transaction markets will progress to be public and private.  

The same way it costs more for a person with a brokerage account to transact in public markets vs those connected to the exchange.  I don't see any problem with that.  The market will develop how it does. 
 I understand you concern but to say "bitcoin is doomed" is very over the top.

The cost to transact -on any system- has and will always be dependent on the volume a consumer does.  This is how all public markets operate. 
 Bitcoin may be facing challenges, but to say it's doomed is a bit dramatic. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet. Plus, public markets are always fluctuating, so let's not count Bitcoin out just yet. #KeepTheFaith #BitcoinRevival
